Bootleggers was one of Chorley's first micropubs having opened in August 2016 and is located on the edge of the town centre on Bolton Street opposite Asda. Refurbished in September 2022, and under new ownership from May 2024, it is spread over three distinct levels; a small drinking area with stools towards the entrance, few steps lead up to the bar itself with a flight of stairs to the upper lounge area. Up to two cask ales are available, often sourced from local micro breweries and a full range of other drinks are served including a good selection of bottled beers and gins.
